About Kyukamura Norikura Kogen

"Kyukamura Norikura Kogen" is a highland resort hotel in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. It stands in the heart of Chubu-Sangaku National Park, surrounded by primeval forest at an elevation of 1600m. Its pride is the natural hot spring from its own source, pumped up from 1300m underground, and the only colorless, clear water in Norikura Kogen, where sulfur springs are the norm. It is a rare bicarbonate spring in Japan, with calcium, magnesium, and sodium in near balance, and the water can also be drunk. A bright indoor bath with full glass walls and an open-air bath where a sky full of stars pours down at night stand side by side, letting you enjoy the changing seasons directly from the tub. With a buffet featuring Shinshu ingredients, a book lounge, and a relaxation room, it offers a stay immersed in hot water and nature.

Hot SpringONSEN

Large Bath

A large bath where you can enjoy the hotel's own source, bubbling up from 1300m underground, in both an indoor bath and an open-air bath. In Norikura Kogen, where sulfur springs are common, this one is uniquely colorless and clear. Calcium, magnesium, and sodium are in near balance, and it is a rare bicarbonate spring rich in natural carbon dioxide and minerals, with water that can also be drunk. The indoor bath has full glass walls and excellent views, with birch trees and the green of the primeval forest spreading out before you. Sink into the open-air bath and you will be wrapped in the crisp air of the highlands, while at night a sky full of stars drifts overhead.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
